Here's a quote from KD about how she got involved with Skid Row singer
Sebastian Bach:

GOSSIP

Kelley Deal admits that when she first contacted Skid Row singer
Sebastian Bach about collaborating with him, he wasn't exactly a fan of
her work. "Oh no, he didn't even know who I was," she says. "But he had
heard the [Breeders'] 'Cannonball' song, I think, which he liked. At
first, I don't think that he even understood anything. I don't think
that he... cared. But we just hit it off." The reason she contacted him
originally, she says, is because she saw his picture in a magazine and
felt an affinity for him. "It was about 'Hair Bands: Where Are They
Now?'" she says. "Some treatment people I was hanging out with are way
into metal. And I'm not a metal fan -- not like that. I'm not into the
makeup, Poison, Great White, any of that stuff. I don't even like Skid
Row. But I am a fan of Sebastian Bach's. He's a great singer, like an
opera guy. And also what really got me was in that [magazine], there was a
picture of Sebastian, and he was sitting like... he was on the
bed in his bedroom, and he was just like this: [she slouches sadly].
And it just... I felt an affinity toward him. He's so uncool -- right
now, this 15 seconds here -- he's in his bedroom, where I spend most of my
time, recently. And I just really felt an affinity toward him.

So I called some dude in the biz and I said, 'I want to do a duet with
Sebastian Bach.' 'Yeah right.' That's exactly what he did. I said, 'No,
I'm serious.' So managers and faxes... And he called me and we've just
been talking ever since."... Meanwhile, one of Deal's other bandmates
in the Last Hard Men, ex-Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, has
been preoccupied with other, uh, hobbies. "He's really busy now," says
Deal. "He's doing race car stuff. And I guess he's really good at it. It's
a big deal. He's already been on ESPN and shit."...
